🍁 November in Connecticut: Market Still Warm, Coffee Hotter

November has officially arrived in Connecticut — the leaves are crunchy, the sweaters cozy, and the housing market… still moving faster than you can say “pumpkin spice mortgage.” While most people are focused on Thanksgiving prep or early holiday sales, the real estate market in Milford, Norwalk, and New Haven continues to hum along with solid activity, competitive pricing, and motivated buyers eager to settle in before the holidays.

🌇 Norwalk, CT: Fast-Moving and High-Value

Norwalk continues to be one of Fairfield County’s most dynamic markets, with a 1.74-month supply of inventory — down 26% month-over-month and 14% year-over-year. Homes here are flying off the market and selling above asking, driven by strong buyer demand and limited supply.

• New listings: 96 (median $548,500)

• Active listings: 141 (median $650,000)

• Pending listings: 135 (median $600,000; 36 days to contract)

• Sold-to-list ratio: 102.74%

• Median days on market: 34

That 21% price surge tells the story — sellers are thriving in this brisk market. Buyers, meanwhile, should act decisively and come in strong.
